The middle-aged man carefully identified the money and found that the copper coins were not fake money. He was overjoyed. He thought he had met a stupid young man with too much money. With a sullen face, he exchanged porridge with Pei Mengqing for fifty coins and left the alley.
These fifty copper coins were barely enough for his family to live frugally for two days.
Dongfang Xiaoyu was curious the whole time, wondering what Pei Mengqing was doing with so much money to buy a bowl of porridge with only a few grains of rice.
Walking into an uninhabited alley, Xiaori and Tachibana appeared.
Pei Mengqing placed the porridge bowl on the ground, and Xiaori came closer and took a few licks.
"Well...it contains a modified version of Ecstasy. After taking it, you will gradually become unresponsive. If you drink this porridge for a long time, you will gradually lose yourself and your mind, and be manipulated by others."
"Sure enough, I knew that neither of these two organizations had a good cake."
[Temporary mission completed: The Dark Night Chaos is trying to slowly control a group of people through special ecstasy. 】
[Task reward: 10 points. Issued. 】
[Remaining points: 170 points. 】
Pei Mengqing told Dongfang Xiaoyu about the relationship between Ernst Pawnshop and the Dark Night Chaos. Only then did Xiaoyu understand that this was not some kind person giving porridge, but an attempt to control civilians through drugs.
"It's really abominable. The methods are so despicable, whether it's a boxing gym or a pawn shop, they still keep an eye on ordinary people!"
When Dongfang Xiaoyu was a child, Dongfang Mingfu always taught her not to bully other classmates and do evil just because she was the son of a county government official.
Her father also often secretly told her the words of the former Shu emperor, saying that one should put people first, and without the support of the people or consideration for the people, one day he would reap the consequences and bring disaster to future generations.
Therefore, when ordinary people need help or are hurt by others, they should help within the scope of their ability. If it is beyond the scope of their ability, go to the people in the county government. With Dongfang Mingfu here, he will definitely help the people to uphold justice. .
Thinking of this, Dongfang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel sad. His father's life or death was uncertain, his body was manipulated into a puppet, and the entire county government was basically in ruins. She had nowhere to ask for help, and she had to find a way not to worry her mother.
She thought of something again, looked at Xiaori, and asked worriedly:
"You will be fine after drinking this porridge, right?"
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoyu. The most powerful thing about us orange cats is our digestive ability. No matter what kind of poison or drug, it will be useless to us."
This is a gift given by the will of the world to the orange cat family, allowing them to digest anything, even evil spirits, they can eat it.
It's just that evil spirits don't taste good and will make you feel upset after eating them, so Xiaori and Tachibana use their claws to emit golden light to destroy evil spirits.
"That's good."
Dongfang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She likes cute furry animals like cats and dogs. Dogs are okay, as long as they are not vicious, you can pet them and they are very close to her.
But the Cat Clan is different. The Cat Clan is rare. Most of the descendants of the Cat Clan are competing to be adopted and enshrined. As a result, there are no stray cats at Yanzhou University.
Moreover, the cat tribe is intelligent and can speak human words. It depends on whether the cat tribe agrees or not. If they don't agree, they will give you a paw backhand, and there is no place to complain.
The two orange cats, Xiaori and Juju, are cute in appearance and in shape, making people fall in love with them just by looking at them.
After Xiaoyu saw them, she always wanted to touch them, but she was afraid that the two cats would not agree.
Pei Mengqing had never thought about this. His attitude towards small animals was respect, not to mention that Xiaori and Juju each had intelligence and self-awareness, and they wanted to go far away from the pets in his impression.
To him, the two cats are more like reliable and powerful companions.
"We have to find a way to stop the pawnshop people from continuing to put porridge." Dongfang Xiaoyu said.
"This is not an easy task." Pei Mengqing leaned against the wall and frowned.
Food prices have been gradually rising, and ordinary people are pawning valuable items in their homes to barely make ends meet.
Nowadays, some people serve porridge for free, which can make people feel full. People are grateful to Ernst & Young Pawnshop.
Whether it is to stop people or directly destroy the porridge stall, if you act rashly, you will be hostile to the people.
The most terrifying thing is when people's hearts are manipulated. Whether they are standing opposite the people or those who control people's hearts, they are all in danger.
"Yes, anyone who dares to stop him will definitely be regarded as an enemy by these people. Those who have drunk too much ecstasy will also be manipulated into saying good things for Ernst & Young Pawn Shop."
Xiaori squatted on the bluestone bricks and shook his head, expressing that this matter was very difficult.
"How about we also serve porridge and compete with them to steal the people?" Dongfang Xiaoyu asked.
Without even thinking about this proposal, Pei Mengqing rejected it directly:
"Behind them is a pawn shop, and behind the pawn shop is the Dark Night Chaos. How can we compete with them in serving porridge? When they raise the price to purchase grain, it will actually increase the already high price of grain again, which will make ordinary people How can we afford it? They monopolize the channels for purchasing grain and ask the grain shops not to sell to us. How can we compare?"
"This..." Dongfang Xiaoyu responded quickly and immediately understood that her suggestion was not feasible.
"Sabotage secretly?" Juju shook his head, "How about I secretly poop in the pot, stink of the pot of porridge, and stink of the pawnshop's reputation?"
"Well... you can give it a try, but with so many people watching, how can you poop into the pot?"
Pei Mengqing thought about it and found that it was really feasible.
Cat feces are many times more smelly than those of ordinary animals. If it is mixed into porridge, people will probably not eat it as long as they are hungry.
"How about using your bubbles? Wrap Juju's poop in bubbles, try to distract everyone's attention, and then throw it in." Xiaori suggested.
Dongfang Xiaoyu couldn't tell for a moment whether the two cats were having a serious discussion or playing a prank. It was a bit...cheesy to throw everything into the pot.
"Then turn around, I'm shy." Juju crossed his front paws and lowered his head, looking shy.
Pei Mengqing and the others had no choice but to do as they were told. After Ju Ju groaned for a while and asked them to turn around, they saw a few indescribable objects on the bluestone board.
"It looks a bit like a sheep shit egg. Why don't we call this plan a bomb drop plan..."
With luck, Pei Mengqing used Bubble to wrap up the stuff left by Juju, temporarily blocking out the smell.
Letting the bubbles rise and hang high on the cauldron, Pei Mengqing whispered a few words to Dongfang Xiaoyu and wrapped a scarf around her face.
Soon, Pei Mengqing, her face covered and wrapped in clothes, seemed to be holding something in her arms, trotting past the porridge stall from a distance.
"Damn thief, don't run away if you can!"
Dongfang Xiaoyu stared at Shame and followed closely behind.
While everyone was looking at the two of them, Pei Mengqing let the bubbles rush down, penetrate deeply into the porridge, and untie the bubbles.
The lump quickly spread, melted, and dissolved in the steaming pot...
An extremely ugly smell came out of the pot. When someone smelled it, they almost choked and pointed at the porridge pot: "What's in it? Why is it so smelly?"
Soon, a commotion broke out at the porridge stall.
Pei Mengqing and Dongfang Xiaoyu, hiding their merit and fame, ran back to the alley where they were just now and secretly observed.
